Bernanke is speaking at the University of Michigan on Monday (due at 2100GMT on the 14th, about 24 hours from now) his first public appearance since the minutes of the latest FOMC were released:
Those minutes showed that some board members had voted for the Fed to begin the process of ending its monthly bond purchases, which are designed to stimulate growth. A reversal of more than three years of aggressive stimulus through bond buying would be a landmark event for the Fed, affecting all financial markets.
Some expect Mr. Bernanke to back away from the surprising tone of the minutes.
